Use of Parafifnc.

Paraffine dissolyes easily in ether and
in essential oils, and the softer descrip-
ton Of parafine, when dissolved in
naptha and mixed with about one
twentieth Of its weight of vegetable
oils, forms a material that is excellently
suited tor w~aterproofng cloth, linen,
India-rubber hose, leather, and so on,
these fabrics, &C., besides being rem
dered waterproof, having their tensile
strength very greatly increased. Par
afire is also largely used for decompo-
sltion of preserved and natural fruit
alike, and it has also been somewhat
successfully used for coating imported
butchers meat. In lucifer match
making also, parafine has done good
service, FOR these articles of commodity,
when the wood has been treased with
melted paraffine, ignite easily, and burn
without producing any such disagree
able odor as in the case with sulphur
matches. Brewers, again, have resort
ed to the use of paraffine for coating
barrels, the object being to prevent beer
which has ''soured,n or is undergoing
any other Preventative process, from so
affecting the wood as TO impart con
tamination to future contents of the
|cask. Spinners and weavers likewise
have of late years employed paraftine to
"a considerable extent in the manufac-
ture of yarn and cloth. Cork, which is
very porous, may be rendered impervi-
GUS to air by sinking it in a vessel o II
tanning melted paraflne, placing that
under an air-pump receiver, and eX-
hausting the air. Immediately air is
again allowed to enter the receiver
which must, of course, be done while
the parafiue is still liquid-the paratfine
is forced into every pore of the cork,
| which thus becomes, as we have said,
practically impervious. Parafine is put

its EMPLOYMENT as an s'insulator,h and
for this purpose it is undoubtedly one of

electricians, probably on account OF its
freedom from, and non-abihty to abb

parafine is put is in the dressing of

is obtained by boiling petroleum and

ployed for separating stssar from or

IT is a great damage to hogs to keep
a large number Of them in a herd to-
gether in cold weather. They lie upon
each other and the ones at the bottom
are nearly smothered and get too hot.
In the morning they are steaming with
perspiration and heat. Such a condi-
ton Is most favorable for colds and
disease and no doubt is one of the
chief reasons why hogs are most dis
eased in hog districts. They should
be separated into small droves Of not
more than ten In number and those of
ever size be put together. This will
also prevent so much crowding and

GREEN MANURING.-Green manur-
ing is an operation familiar to every
American farmer, but, as they do not
all grow clover, vetches or Italian
grass, they Will not all appreciate the
value OF manurlng with these crops.
In France, England and the Northern
States the practice is well known, and
It's success depends Oh efectually COW
ering the vegetable matter turned I'M
der the soil in the operation of plough
ing. When 1T is intended to use the
crop directly for fertilizing, the
ploughing should be done just as the
flower is about to open, and when the
days are sunny and the soil is dry, In
order to facilitate decomposition.
Fully three-fourths of the organic mat
ter thus buried has been derived from
the atmosphere. and the land so trea-
ted obtains its fertility from the even
distribution Of the heterogeneous crops,
which are decomposed at a very low
but certain rate. Practical men Of
large experience consider the value Of
a green crop plowed in as equal to the
droppings of cattle which have been
fed On three times the quantity. The
great fact behind this all important
action is the decomposition Of the
heterogeneous compounds which yields
ammonia and nitric acid, from which
nitrates are formed.

EARN NOTES.

PROFIT IN OATs.-Many farmers
say there is no profit In raising oats,
yet others end them a profitable crop.
II the market price Of the grain is not
profitable, the price paid for young
stock always is. The farmer who sells
oats and feeds his calves, pigs. lambs
and colts all corn, or nearly SO, makes
a mistake. Not a few men find oats
Improbable because they do not feed
them, or do not feed them properly;
yet, more because they do not get the
full value of the straw. II cats are cut
five days earlier than is the common
practice, the straw is worth for feeding
two-thirds Of its weight Of timothy
Gay, and this earlier cutting increases.
rather than dimipishes, the value OF
the grain. OF course the straw must
be kept bright. II it is not cut until
1t Is "dead ripe" and then piled up
after thfeshing to bleach and rot, 1t Is
not worth much for feed, But the
cutting, curing and feeding being
equally favorable, three pounds Of oat
straw are worth as much for winter
feeding as two pounds of hay. True,
the other articles fed must have more
albuminolds than when hay is fed, but
this does not increase the cost of the
ration. The biggest price for oats is
realized by cutting the crop when most
farmers would pronounce 1t green,
curing 1t nicely, then store in NOV or
under barracks. and feed gram and
straw together after running through
a cutter and moistenipg. Cutting oats
a little early, also reduces the chances
of their lodging, and their liability to
lodge is the most serious objection to
them by farmers who have a soil rich
in nitrogen and rather deficient in
silica-a very poor soil for all grains.

Reform in Funerals.

The Maryland Churchmdn, finds in
the present mode of conducting funerals,
great deal that is Objectionable TO good
taste, and that sadly needs reform. II
says: There is something inexpressibly
sad in the modern funeral-the expensive
casket, with its white metal ornaments,
the burial shroud, which is but sham
dress, the iplumed hearse, and the long
line of carriages-the whole display not
showing grief for the dead, but vanity, or
fear of what they will say; not Chris
tian burial, but an undertakers adver-
tisement, on which he counts for high
profit and mere business, and on which he
gazes with the same pride that merchant
has in handsomely displayed show case
or window"
Then, after a plea for funerals in church,
and for the abolition of the sermon 1.-THE

clergymen. and usually results in lower
ing him in his own estimation, and in
making him ridiculous in the eyes of those

strongly urges, on sanitary grounds, re-
form in the matter of kissing the corpse.
1t plainly states that every dead body is
giving off elements OF decay, and all who
kiss the lips. as nearly all do, inhale these
elements. And not of decay only, but of
disease. The germs Of consumption, and
of contagious diseases of all kinds and of
every type, are drawn into the lungs Of
the living from the dead, so that the dead
become the messengers of death to those
whom they loved, The opening of the
coffin at the funeral, the public leave
taking of the friends, and the custom of
having Sunday funerals, are also inveigh-
ed against in the same article. The
Christian Observer" in treating upon
this subject, calls attention to the unwis-
dom of the persons in attendance at
the burial being expected to stand around
the grave in rain, mud, or snow, until the
grave is filled up And itasserts that there
is no satisfactory reason why the bereaytd
should have the added pain of listening
to the sound of the earth as it is thrown
upon the coffin, or why they and others
should stand upon the damp earth or in
